C++ Programming Book

This is a discussion on C++ Programming Book within the C++ Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; What is a good programming book to use? I've looked at the two on the front page, but I didn't ...

"Ivor Horton's Beginning C++". Great book. He gives thorough explanations of the concepts using code snippets, and then he gives a full fledged example and explains it line by line. At the end of every chapter there are 4 or 5 practice problems, and you can download sample solutions at the Wrox web site. Good luck.

BTW, I don't own that book, but I would just for reference if I had the money. Anyways, I think it's one of the better books for learning C++. Bjarne kinda writes more like he was writing Formulas in the book instead, but you'll get used to it, it seems quite thorough. But anyways, you can always read the reviews at Amazon. Someone says Lippmans was better... who knows.

Personally I would rather have a book for reference, rather than tutorial, as there are enough online.
